Topics of course
In the course, students will learn about the feature set and the different modules of ArcGIS Pro geoinformatics software and gain insight into its potential applications by solving practical problems. They will learn about the theoretical background of object-based image processing, its application areas, the feature set of the eCognition software, segmentation techniques, classification procedures, the main toolkits, their use in the analysis of remotely sensed data and the production of thematic maps. The theoretical part of the course will cover the following topics: theoretical and conceptual background of object-based image processing; object-based approach vs. object-based image processing software, modules; applications of object-based image processing in earth and environmental sciences; image coordinate system, image features; layers, relations, segment, image object; image object hierarchy; decision tree; segmentation algorithms I.; segmentation algorithms II; class mapping algorithms I; class mapping algorithms II; accuracy checking, spatial data integration; The practical part of the course will cover the following topics: project-based geoinformatics work environment, ArcGIS Pro software environment, product support, graphical user interface; menu systems, work windows, toolbars, panels, data formats in ArcGIS Pro; adding and displaying vector and raster data, map navigation, resizing, setting layer properties, symbol attributes, layer hierarchy; vector editing, attributes, geometric relationships, filters; map layout in ArcGIS Pro; introduction to eCognition software, system requirements, installation, product support; dropdown menus, work windows, toolbars, panels, data formats in eCognition; project creation and modification, file operations; segmentation procedures; image classification, creating class maps; error matrix, integrating class maps into geoinformation systems.
